Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Chapter 99: Domains! Mad Rat Tide!

Chapter 99: Domains! Mad Rat Tide!

The Voodoo Priest’s face—which was shrouded beneath the tattered cloak—emitted two spots of chilly eyes! He looked at Link, letting out a dry and piercing laugh.

His laugh sounded as if two pieces of rock were in his throat and rubbing against each other. But it also sounded like a night owl’s hooting. It made one extremely uneasy!

The aura radiating from the Voodoo Priest also became increasingly frightening!

The extremely weirdly-designed staff—which had a tip that looked like a withered and twisted palm holding a still-beating heart—abruptly started dancing at this moment!

Streams of gray energy filled with degeneration and twistedness emanated in this area!

The overwhelming mischief of rats seemed to receive a certain trigger and stimulus. The crimson glow in the rats’ eyes became stronger!

A sense of danger instantly enveloped the party like it was bearing down on them with Mount Taishan’s weight!

The countenances of Luo Xinghe and the others—who were currently battling it out with the frogman—turned stiff.

At this instant, all of them felt a staggering suppression!

The words ‘extreme restlessness and discomfort’ weren’t enough to describe this feeling!

While in a trance, they felt like rats were crawling on their bodies. The squeaking sounds lingered on incessantly!

It was as if, in their minds, several giant rats were gnawing on their souls!

A filthy, twisted, and mad aura tainted their spirits. Xue Linglong and company felt as if they were facing the icy God of Death. The beating hearts in their chests violently shrank like they had been instantly grasped by an ice-cold palm!

A soul-freezing chill abruptly sprung up from the bottom of their feet and rushed straight to the top of their skull, turning their scalps numb!

Even the blood flowing around their bodies seemed close to being frozen; their movements momentarily became sluggish as well!

The frogman took this chance and continuously let out croaks. Its expression was full of tyranny and excitement.

The long, rusty spear in his hand was especially tricky and ruthless. It thrust outward repeatedly, seeking to seize the chance to reap the lives of these humans before him!

The situation instantly became exceedingly critical for Luo Xinghe and Xue Linglong—who were directly facing the frogman!

“Yuna,” Link called out.

In the air, Yuna’s six pure white wings fluttered gently. She nodded her white, jade-like, flawless face, understanding him at once.

A hint of repulsion flashed through her eyes. Lifting the staff in her hand up high, Yuna cried out delicately, “Light, dispel the evil before my eyes!”

Streams of splendid holy light ceaselessly rippled out from her body!

The inexplicable gray energy shrouding everyone was dispelled, and Xue Linglong and the others were enveloped by the holy light. Their cold bodies gradually recovered their warmth, and everyone let out a long exhale in their hearts.

At the same time, they directly perceived the formidableness of Stage Five monsters!

If Link wasn’t around for the battle this time, they would probably be merely a bunch of nobodies that the Stage Five monster could casually crush!

It wouldn’t even require the Stage Five monster to act. If they were to remain in the state that they had been in earlier, they would undergo mental breakdowns by themselves!

Link’s countenance was still apathetic. Having lived two lifetimes as a human, his understanding of monsters was much deeper than that of Xue Linglong and the rest.

Stage Four monsters were called overlord-level monsters. This was because they already possessed the ability to lead a group of monsters under their command and massacre a city!

Between Stage Four and Stage Five was a massive divide! Once monsters broke through this boundary, they would become even more terrifying!

Stage Five monsters—above the overlords. Other than being able to command army-like masses of monsters, some of these monsters even touched domains. They were capable of constructing domains that solely belonged to them!

When engaging in battle with such a monster, one would be affected by its unique domain and aura. The battle difficulty could be considered to be raised several-fold!

This was the case for the Stage Five boss, Prophet of Death, that Link killed previously.

The existence of its domain made even the Stage Four monsters under its command fearful!

Fortunately, the Prophet of Death’s silencing skill and death domain’s effects were restrained by Link’s [Body of Death] and his own distinctness. Otherwise, he would’ve taken a lot more effort to defeat her.

What the Voodoo Priest presently displayed was similar to domain skills!

Rats with scarlet-red eyes suddenly looked toward Link in unison!

Being watched by millions of mad gazes was not a good experience. It was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

After this, these rats charged toward Link swiftly and violently.

The tide of rats that extended to the horizon was like a surging black wave, swarming toward Link!

There wasn’t the slightest hint of fear on the face of Link, who stepped out of the holy light screen. There was only iciness in those deep and dark eyes.

The [King’s Sword] in his hand danced, and the [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly executed!

Streams of sword energy washed out, and a fierce sword intent filled the world. Even the dark sky appeared like it was about to tear apart!

The sword energy was like a blade. Before the rats madly pouncing at Link even touched the edges of his clothes, they were sliced into chopped meat.

Meanwhile, Link’s robes remained as white as snow, his presence peerless as he swept forward.

Behind him were layers upon layers of filthy rat corpses!

The Voodoo Priest watched Link, who continued to press closer. There wasn’t any change in his countenance at all; there was only mockery reflected in his eyes!

To him, Link was indeed extraordinary. After all, LInk had the ability to kill Stage Four monsters within seconds. But he’d ultimately yet to step into Stage Four!

Under his level’s great suppression, Link was merely a slightly bigger ant!

Once the Voodoo Priest’s staff shook, the swarming rats actually began piling up before Link.

One rat climbed on top of another rat. They would bite one another’s bodies, swiftly stacking up into an extremely thick and heavy rat wall.

Moreover, the thickness continued to grow like a building that ceaselessly piled up horizontally and blocked the way before Link!

At the same time, Yuna cast [Holy Light Purification]!

Streaks of golden holy light energy fell from the air like meteors and landed on the rat wall harshly.

With the holy flame’s burning and the strangling of Link’s sword energy, the rat wall was constantly torn apart and ruptured!

Filthy blood—as well as broken limbs and chopped rat flesh—continuously splashed down from midair!

Link was like a sharp, unbreakable sword—even this rat wall could not stop his advance!

Very soon, the rat wall collapsed.

Link stepped forward with long strides! However, what appeared before him wasn’t the Voodoo Priest draped in a torn cloak but a large bloody mouth!

This was the mouth of a rat with a hill-like colossal body. Its face was warped! When its enormous mouth opened, it was like a small square. Inside the mouth was stacked and staggeringly long teeth!

A terrifying stench diffused right toward Link’s face. There were even many rats moving through the staggering fangs.

Deep in the enormous rat’s throat, a massive head stuck out—it was a hideous pig’s head.

It was the head of the Fallen Pigman that had been killed by Link! The head was much bigger than before. When the head’s large mouth opened, it was the size of a parlor.

Deep in the pigman head’s throat was another head. It was the head of the Fallen Ratman.

Each of these repulsive heads enveloped the next like Matryoshka dolls. They were utterly strange and set off a chill in one’s heart!

They were so strange that all the heads were still wailing and calling out.

“Join us!”

“Quick, join us! Let us become one!”

...

The massive mouth swiftly shut, and darkness approached Link, wanting to keep him here completely!
